Reviews
This volume (along with one by Nancy Willard) inaugurates the "Bread Loaf Contemporaries" series, books published not for their commercial potential but for their literary merit. Pulitzer Prize-winner Justice offers a distillation of his life's work, selecting his favorite poems and augmenting them with fiction, criticism, and a memoir. Autobiographical themes dominate both the prose and poetry, and many pieces celebrate music, particularly the beautiful memoir, "Piano Lessons: Notes on a Provincial Culture." As a poet, Justice has worked in many forms. His poetry succeeds best when he transcends the everyday to hint at the mystery that is part of all our lives--"Sometimes, folding the evening paper up,/ One feels suddenly alone" and when he lets feeling and language intersect: "No, but the sheets were drenched and twisted./They were the very handkerchiefs of grief." Recommended for larger collections. See also Nancy Willard's A Nancy Willard Reader , reviewed on p. 147.--Ed.
